The side portico of this 14th-century church is notable for including six Byzantine 12th-century paterae (libation bowls). The largest over the doorway shows two peacocks drinking from the Fountain of Life, and there are five smaller paterae to the side, depicting animals snatching other animals.
It was restored in 2006, supported by Venice in Peril.
